Absence From After School Club
If a child is absent from Afterschool Club on a day he or she is booked to attend it is imperative that the Playleader is notified as soon as possible. We ask parents not to allow their children to make arrangements to go to tea with a friend without their parents informing the club first. The Playleader has a list of children each day to be collected, all of whom must be accounted for. Unless we have been notified in advance that the child is going home with a friend, she/he will be taken to the club as arranged. Please see ‘Kidsafe Forms and Procedure’.
